HOUSTON, March 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Adams
Resources & Energy, Inc., (NYSE MKT: AE) ("Adams" or the
"Company") announced an unaudited fourth quarter 2016 net loss of
$0.2 million or $0.04 per common share on revenues of
$299.0 million. This compares
to an unaudited net loss of $8.4
million or $1.99 per common
share on revenues of $348.3 million
for the fourth quarter of 2015. For the full year 2016, the
Company had net income of $2.5
million or $0.60 per share on
revenues of $1.1 billion.
2016 Highlights:
- Gross revenues of over $1 billion
for the full year ended December 31,
2016
- Adams Resources & Energy, Inc's crude oil and
transportation subsidiary, GulfMark Energy, Inc., marketed
approximately 73,000 barrels of oil per day during 2016
- 2016 marked the beginning of our effort to diversify offerings
at the transportation subsidiary by trucking dry bulk
materials
- Generated positive free cash flow (cash flow from operations
before changes in working capital less capital expenditures) during
2016
- Dividend of $0.88 per share for
the year ended December 31, 2016
- No short or long term debt as of December 31, 2016
- Over $147 million of liquidity
($87 million of cash and cash
equivalents and $60 million of
undrawn letter of credit facility) at year-end 2016
"During 2016, Adams took significant steps to broaden our
service offerings including beginning to diversify into dry bulk
transportation and focusing on gaining access to new areas within
our crude oil marketing and transportation segment. During
2017, we plan to continue to find ways to leverage our existing
businesses and focus on strategic business development
efforts," said Thomas S. Smith, President and Chief Executive
Officer.
During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company recognized a
$0.2 million pre-tax, non-cash
impairment charge related to non-core acreage. In the fourth
quarter of 2015, as a result of a decline in natural gas and crude
oil prices, the Company recognized a $10.9
million pretax non-cash impairment of oil and gas
properties. The Company's capital structure remains sound and
net cash provided by operating activities before changes in working
capital totaled $20.8 million for the
full year 2016, down from $30.2
million for the year ended December
31, 2015 (see reconciliation table at the end of this press
release). The Company continues to have no bank debt or other
forms of debenture obligations and the cash balance at December 31, 2016 totaled $87.3 million, down from $91.9 million as of December 31, 2015.
Capital Investments and Dividends
During 2016 the Company invested $13.2
million of capital and paid dividends of $3.7 million ($0.88
per share). The Company invested $6.9
million in our truck transportation division, $4.7 million in medical management, $1.3 million in the crude oil marketing segment
and less than $1 million in the
upstream operations of Adams. A substantial portion of the
$6.9 million invested in the truck
transportation business was related to expansion of the Company's
Houston terminal which will allow
for further strategic diversification opportunities within the
segment. Adams currently has no plans to pursue further
investments in medical management services.
